Review: Buccament Bay Resort and the Promise of a Tropical Paradise Experience

Buccament Bay Resort Review

Aside from growing old together, another goal that my husband and I have as a couple is to travel the world together. So, we make it a point that at least once a year, we get to visit a nice place we’ve never been to. We are just so lucky that we are already here in the Caribbean, where there are a lot of options to choose from and great islands to go to. However, the real challenge lies in finding the best travel deal online that would give us the best value for our hard-earned money.

Buccament Bay Resort Review

After months of searching for great offers, we encountered Travel Club T&T’s Buccament Bay Resort (resort info) All-Inclusive Package, which covers everything from roundtrip airfare, 4-day accommodation at the resort’s Garden Villa with plunge pool and of course, meals and drinks. Compared to the pricing of other travel agencies, we believe that this one offers the lowest rate. My husband made the call right away and we were assisted by Ana of Travel Club T&T, who is really accommodating and friendly. She gave us clear instructions on what to do and just like that, our much-awaited vacation for this year has been booked.

Arrival in St. Vincent

It only took us a 55-minute LIAT direct flight from Trinidad to reach the beautiful island of St. Vincent, home to 32 gorgeous Caribbean islands, vibrant rainforests and stunning turquoise waters. Buccament Bay Resort (resort rates) is located on the southwest coast of the island, which is 15-20 minutes away from the airport. Transfers weren’t included in our package but we just paid 30USD, flat rate, one way. To be honest, the way to the resort wasn’t that smooth. There are some bad roads, steep hills and some areas where under maintenance, but nothing that were really unbearable. Anyway, it’s just a short ride and the driver we hired was really good so I just enjoyed the breathtaking views around me and smiling and waving back to the nice people of the island.

First Impression

Finally, we arrived at the most talked about all-inclusive, luxury hotel in this part of the Caribbean. The first thing I saw was a wooden gate and a small security guard’s house. From where I was standing that time, I couldn’t really see a nice facade of the beach. So I looked at my husband and gave him the “Have we made a bad decision?” look. I am the type of person who doesn’t like setting my hopes real high because I hate being disappointed. But with all the (resort reviews) we’ve read about the place, it’s hard to believe that we’ve made the wrong choice.

After the guard made a call to the front desk to inform them of our arrival, we were asked to enter the gate. We crossed a wooden bridge and everything just turned magical. Each and every step of the way, I watched a real beauty unfold right before my eyes. The sight of the lush mountains, the fine white sands, the inviting clear blue sea and the entire landscape literally made me speechless. That time I knew that this trip is going to be a real tropical paradise experience.

How the Hotel Handled Our Arrival

We were welcomed by Samuel, who handled everything smoothly from checking in, getting our deposits, giving us our room keys and making advance dinner schedules at the restaurant of our choice. He answered all of our questions in a very professional and courteous manner. It only took him a couple of minutes to get all set and that’s it! A golf cart was already waiting to take us to our very own Garden Villa with plunge pool.

It’s like a beginning of a very wonderful dream. Everywhere I look is fascinating. Every step of the way is a surprise. In my mind, I couldn’t wait to see and explore the treasure that Buccament Bay Resort has to offer.
